It is not unworthy of.nOtice, that while BUONA, 'ARTS is granting licenses to his own subjeots to trade direilly with England, - he compels his vassal Kings to interdict all commerce with us more ri gorously than ever. If the Officers of the French Customs are not allowed very strialy to search ves sels provided with licences, on their return to French ports, it is because BWONAPARTR is anxious to pre serve the small remains of commerce which his subieds still :possess, and to prevent agriculture from being entirely destroyed. If, at the same time, he redoubles the severity of his prohibi tions against commerce with Great Britain in t he countries governed by his crowned pre te :ts, it is, (independent of the wish of all tyrants to oppress and impoverish a conquered because he wishes that all the trade of his vassaliStates should be carried on by French trier- chants, and because by those in cans licenses will be come an important branch of public revenue in V ince. it is quite obvious, upon the first view of the subject, that the Americans must suffer by - the . , pleasures recently adopted bygButmAPARTE, "and that they are now tasting the bitter.fruits of the policy of JEFFERSON, and the other advocates of France in America, We yesterday received some more Foreign Pa per?. ; they are nearly filled with accounts of dresses, processions, illuminations, &c..&c. id consequence of 131 1 0gAPARTE'S marriage. We have made some ex tracts from these papers, but our Readers will we are sure forgive us, if we do not dwell upon a subject at once so disgusting and so painful. The perfe6l good order and regularity observed by the British troops in their marches and quarters in PorThgal is highly honourable to them, and must prove satisfadory to the nation at large. The con duct of the Guards was particularly exemplary, as appeirs by the toliciwing letter. - The commendation and reward so properly bestowed by the high autho rity. whence it proceeds, cannot fail to have the best effect upon the army : " Vizeri, fan. tc, rBro. " have taken frequent occasions of stating publicly the great satisfadion which the conduit of the Guards has invariably given 'me—which satis faction has been renewed in the recent march through Portugal, in which, as they were at the head of the column, tli - ey set the example to the other troops of the most orderly and regular manner: " I am anxious to testify this satisfaElion in 'a manner which shall make an impression on the .Non-commissionetrOfficers, and shall prove to them that the attention they pay to their duty is not un obser‘ed by their superiors ; and if the 'Command • ia g Officers of the two battalions,of Guards w ill b e ;kind as recommend a Serj,.Ont each, I will re immend them to vacant Ensigncies in the army.

MEDICAL BOARD.—Sir LUCAS PEPYS, late Phy sician-G,neral, and Mr. KEATE,. late Surgeon-Ge neral to the Army, have remonstrated against their dismission, the foriner alleging, that to deprive hi m of his office is to enc roac h on the prerogative of the Crown ; and the latter, that nothing short of the sentence of a Court Martial could justify his dis mission. Sir L.

The performers na turally exerted themselves with great zeal in sup port. of so meritorious an institution. The only novelty of the night was Mr. BAERMAN, first per former on the bassoon to the King of RttuastA. He is a great acquisition to the musical circles of this country. He excited much applause by sweetness of tone, neatness and brilliancy of execution, and his whole taste and manner. Mrs. BILLINGTON, Mrs. VAUGEIAN, Madame BIANCHI, and Messrs. SALE, Goss, VAUGHAN, and BRAHAM, liberally as sisted on the occasion.

Collector of Customs at Falmouth and Montego Bay, and brother-in-law to Mr. CANNING, who was appointed to the situation when he was in power. The parties having exchanged three in effedual shots, the seconds interfered, and adjusted the affair. The meeting was in consequence of a re port that the latter Gentleman sent home to the Commissioners of Customs, endeavouring to spew that a decision of the Hon. J. H. in the 'Court of Admiralty was improper, and contrary to law, and implying or - insinuating, that he leaned to the mer cantile interest. Several ships were last weelc'paid at Plymouth, all in new gold coin ; and on Saturday Inf., the artificers belonging to the- Dock-yard were paid their wages in new half-guineas. It was pleasing to see the smiles on the men's countenances at the sight-pf these strangers. wNyotr : Printed by RI (JI-I ARD HARR! 6, of No. 4, Martlett.court, Bow-street; and 'At the Subt-OPFt6B No. 112, Strand, where Adviisements Order 4 CITY BUSINESS.

Mr. Baines, Rea or of St. Ives, were requested to preach before the Court and the Governors of the Hospitals at Christ Church, Newgate-street, on Easter . Mon day and Tuesday next. WHIG Cann.—Lord HOLLAND presided yester day at the Meeting, which took place at Free masons" Tavern. When the usual toasts of the day had been given, the Chairman paid a liberal tribute to the memory of Mr. Fox, and, having informed the company that Mr. WHITBREAD was Oa be Chairman at the next meeting, proposed the health of that Member, and " thanks to him for his consti tutional vigilance in Parliament." Mr. Smith gave Lord HOLLAND as his toast, with an eulogium on his Lordship's charaCter. The Noble Lord express ed his thanks, and promised to tread in the steps of his late illustrious Relation. He concluded with giving " Mr. BYNG, and the Independent Free holders of Middlesex." Mr. BYNO, of course, ex pressed his acknowledgments, and . then entered into some remarks on the state of public affairs, declar ing, that it was not by a change of men, but a change of system, that this country must be saved.— " Mr. SMITH, and the cause of religious liberty.'.' followed, and drew up that 'Gentleman, who avow ed his satisfaction that hiS name had been so in troduced. After •c the Marquis of TAVISTOCK, and the Independent Freeholders of the County of Cam bridge," had been drank, the Chairman proposed the health of " Mr. PERRY, and may the periodical Press ever be in the hands of men who have vigour to defend it when attacked, and principle to conduct it with moderation when in security." Mr. PERRY thanked the company in handsome terms for the honour they had done him in receiving the toast in so favourable a manner, expressing his hopes that the public press would always be employed in supporting the just rghts of Englishmen. Other toasts suitable to the principles of the Institution were given, and after Lord HOLLAND left the Chair, 'it was taken by Mr. SMITH. The rest of the even ing was passed in festivity, without any reference to politics or party. The restoration of Admiral HARVEY must give satisfaction to the Navy, as he is a charaCter of the true British breed, who, if he uttered too hasty a word, did so from the impulse of that spirit which is an essential feature in the composition of our gal lant tars, and to which we in a great measure owe our national glory. Wednesday last a Conrt Martial was held for the trial of the carpenter of the Rattlesnake sloop of ar, for cruelly treating his' yeoman. The charge being proved, he was sentenced to be dismissed the ship, to be placeal before the mast, and rendered incapable of ever fining any situation of trust in his Majesty's Navy., A letter from Cadiz, dated the 13th ot March, says—" We have here in garrison, besides the Spa nish army, two fine Portuguese regiments ; a large detachment of Bilitish artillery ; the 79th, or Came *ronian Highlanders ; the 87th, 2d ; battalion ; the 88th, or Connaught Rangers, fad battalion ; the 94th, or Scots Brigade, Ist battalion; the 95th, and detachMent.

He has under him General STEWART ; and General SONTiIG, with a number of Officers, are expetied from England. The 79th have the honour of the advance, in conjunction with a fine Portuguese regiment. The 87th, 88th, ,and 94th regiments are, quartered in the town, in very excellent bomb-proof barracks. The advance batteries of the French aid ours are constantly fitang at each other. For th lait four days we have been burning ships that were wre_ked in the late storm. Two companies or the 4fh Foot, taken by the enemy in one ot there wre, ks, are sent prisoners to Madrid. This is the handsomest town and the cleanest streets I err saw ; but the houses are wretchedly dirty within. Every thing is exorbi- . tautly high. A dollar is of the same value here at present as a sixpence is in England. The most trifling thing is not to be had under a dollar. Of. beef and mutton there are now none to be purchased at any price in the market. Fowls are a dollar a Thetroops live on their ration, with a por tion of vegetables. 'We are looking ,anxiously: to England for ships with eatables. We.are getting rather sickly It is.supposed, that l unless by bri bery, Cadiz- never can be taken. The present Re.; gency seem determined to hold out to the last, and the public have confidence in them, and will stand by them. • The peopl e are ,really very kind and grateful to the English for their generous assiit ance." A fever, of the most malignant nature rages at present in Sutherland and Caithness, where numbers die daily, generally the fourth or fifth day after the attack of the distemper.
